Introduction:
The demographic profile and health issues of adolescents and youth are critical in shaping public health strategies and interventions. This assessment focuses on calculating the eligible groups for various adolescent and youth reproductive health (AYRH) services in specific kebeles, informed by population data and service utilization metrics. Understanding these parameters allows for targeted interventions in addressing the challenges faced by adolescents and youth, including low contraceptive use, high teenage pregnancy rates, and increasing incidences of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
In this context, we will analyze the eligible population within Fetche Kebele and a second kebele based on survey data, followed by an evaluation of the coverage of essential reproductive health services. Utilizing the Health Management Information System (HMIS) data, we will derive actionable insights into service uptake, essential for guiding future health initiatives. Ultimately, we will propose an action plan aimed at improving reproductive health outcomes among youth over the next year, alongside formulating SMART objectives to enhance contraceptive uptake, reduce teenage pregnancies, and mitigate STI rates. This multifaceted approach seeks to create a healthier, informed, and empowered youth population within the targeted communities.
